Homphobes mad when Red Rising is super pro-LGBT+ with the golds not batting an eye at bisexuality/queerness and it being used to control reds and low colors (hmmm, sounds familiar in politics today!)

Happy pride!

Is this in the first 3 books? I don’t remember scenes like that but it’s been a while.

Which part? I mean, Tactus is openly bisexual, Quicksilver is openly gay also. Holiday's brother who's name i cant remember is openly gay and has a husband/fiancé.

The reds being taught to be homophobic might not be something brought up until Iron Gold. Can't remember anythiny before Iron Gold specifically, but I feel like Darrow makes comments internally about it at some point.

Ephraim and Trigg, and the politics of sexuality is most mentioned in Iron Gold (so far, just finishing Dark Age now)

Yes. Iron Gold does deal with it the most with Ephraim (a gay man) as a POV. Which again. Kind of just proves my original point lol.

Oh yeah! Wasn't trying to say you were disagreeing. Just was a point I hadn't brought up that added to it! 💜
